area around Jerusalem, 1215- two members of the Teutonic Knights, taking part in the Fifth Crusade to the Holy Land, stumble upon a cave and upon entering, they discovered a scroll that detailed plans for a small group of knights to rebel against the order, the two knights, determined to not let this happen, quickly left the cave with the scroll, but along the way, they were attacked and killed, the scroll however, was lost

New York City-2011

Thomas Kelly was in his office at the crime lab when Mac sent him to a church that was near by, what Thomas found shocked and angered him, the victim there was a clergyman, he had been stabbed in the heart and laid near the altar, Thomas called his boss, "Mac, you should get down here."

I didn't know what Thomas had to expect on his crime scene but I was a little surprised that he called and wanted me to come there. I knew he probably had a good reason."I'm on my way." I said and headed to the scene to find Thomas waiting outside the church.

Thomas was pacing back and forth, his face had both anger and sadness, 'Who would kill a priest?' he asked himself, as he paced, he looked up and saw Mac approaching him, the same look still on his face

Thomas lead Mac inside, "Fr. Ryan Gilles, 42, associate priest here at St. Luke's." he started, his voice somber, an undercurrent of anger noticeable as he spoke, "The nun over there heard a commotion, then a cry of pain, when she came in, she found Fr. Gilles like this." he added

When he said that and I saw the actual crime scene I didn't like what I saw. "So... some kind of ritual murder? It looks much like this was some kind of oblation murder." I said, as it was my first impression.

"So we're dealing with a German Order from the middleages?" I arched my brow as I study the symbol on the victims head."I don't know, but somehow this is odd. The Order was developed during the third Crucade, if I am remembering correctly. But what did they have to do with offerings?"

"That is correct" Thomas replied, "The first record of them was 1190, the second year of the Third Crusade." he added, "If memory serves: during the Fifth Crusade years later, two knights of this order came across a conspiracy to split the order into two groups." Thomas stated

"I do" Thomas replied, "During the Protestant Reformation, the Teutonic Knights did split into separate groups. There were rumors of violence between the two sides." he added as he continued processing

I admired his faith. Something I didn't keep as well as I maybe should.I pack up the evidence we found and give him a small nod before I made my way to the SUV."I'll see you in the lab." I said to him.
